                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stockholders of
Press Family Dental:

         We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Press Family
Dental (a Texas corporation) as of October 31, 1997, and the related combined
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the ten month
period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

         We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Press Family Dental
as of October 31, 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the ten month period then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                                OCTOBER 31, 1997

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

     Press Family Dental (the "Company") is a Texas-based corporation. The
combined operations of the Company include management and dental services. The
Company's operations are located throughout San Antonio, representing a total of
three dental offices. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
     basis of accounting.

       Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

       Concentration of Credit Risk

         The Company grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of
     whom are local residents and are insured under third-party payor
     agreements. Management does not believe these receivables represent any
     concentrated credit risk. Furthermore, management continually monitors and
     adjusts its reserves and allowances associated with these receivables.

       Property and Equipment

         Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
     depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated using
     the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

                                                                   YEARS
                                                                   -----   
        Furniture, fixtures, and equipment.......................  5 - 7
        Leasehold improvements...................................   40

       Revenue Recognition

         Revenue is recorded at estimated net amounts to be received from
     third-party payors and patients for services rendered, net of contractual
     and other adjustments. Premiums received from third-party payors under
     dental plans are due monthly and are recognized as revenue during the
     period in which the services are provided to the members.

       S Corporation - Income Tax Status

         The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be
     taxed as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. In lieu of
     corporation income taxes, the stockholders of an S corporation are taxed on
     their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no
     provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the
     accompanying combined financial statements.

Family Dental as of and for the ten month period ended October 31, 1997,

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

         Dental Group Practices Revenue, Net. Dental group practices revenue,
net represents the revenue of the dental facilities (each, a "Dental Office" and
collectively, the "Dental Offices") reported at the estimated realizable amounts
from third-party payors and patients for services rendered.

         Net Revenue. Net revenue in the accompanying pro forma consolidated
statement of income represents revenue from Dental Offices less amounts retained
by the dental group practices. The amounts retained by dental group practices
represent amounts paid by (i) the dental professional corporations (the "P.C.s")
as salary, benefits and other payments to employed dentists and hygienists and
contracted specialists and (ii) the Company as salary, benefits and other
payments to employed dentists and hygienists and contracted specialists in
states in which ownership of dental practices by the Company is permitted. Under
the Management Agreements, the Company assumes responsibility for the management
of all aspects of the dental group practices' business other than the provision
of dental services. The Company's net revenue is dependent on the revenue of the
dental group practices.

         Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income. The adjustments reflected
in the pro forma consolidated statement of income for the ten months ended
October 31, 1997 are as follows:

         (a)  The Press Family Dental column presents the historical revenue and
              expenses of Press Family Dental for the ten month period ended
              October 31, 1997.

         (b)  To reflect the impact of applying (i) the provisions of the
              Management Agreement and (ii) adjustments in compensation expense
              principally affecting the owners of the acquired dental group
              practice pursuant to the provisions of employment agreements
              entered into at the time of acquisition to the historical dental
              group revenue of the dental practice, as if the Management
              Agreement and employment agreements were in place at January 1,
              1997.

         (c)  To reflect rent expense for two Dental Offices based on new lease
              agreements as if agreements were in place at January 1, 1997.

         (d)  To increase amortization expense for the intangible assets based
              upon the Company's allocation of purchase price as if the
              acquisition was completed on January 1, 1997. The intangible
              assets related to Press Family Dental total approximately $8.8
              million at October 31, 1997 and are being amortized over a period
              of 25 years.

         (e)  To reflect interest expense at a rate of 8.75% on a $6.9 million
              note payable assumed in connection with the acquisition as if the
              note was assumed at January 1, 1997.

         (f)  To reflect the estimated income tax effects at an estimated
              effective rate of approximately 38.7%.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

         The adjustments reflected in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet
are as follows:

         (a)  To record the historical basis of the assets acquired and
              liabilities assumed by the Company in connection with the Press
              Family Dental acquisition. This acquisition has been accounted for
              using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the
              purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and
              liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of
              October 31, 1997. In addition to the issuance of Common Stock, the
              Company paid approximately $6.6 million in cash in connection with
              the Press Family Dental acquisition. The pro forma purchase
              accounting adjustments are recorded under the Acquisition
              Adjustments column.

         The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:

                  Cash and cash equivalents - The historical carrying amount
         approximated fair value.

                  Property and equipment, net - The Company performed an
         asset-by-asset review and determined that the historical carrying
         amount approximated fair value.

                  Intangible assets - In connection with the allocation of the
         purchase price to intangible assets, the Company analyzed the nature of
         the dental group practice with which a Management Agreement was entered
         into, including the number of dentists in the dental group practice,
         number of dental offices and ability to recruit additional dentists,
         the dental group practice's relative market position, the length of
         time the dental group practice had been in existence, and the term and
         enforceability of the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is
         for a term of 40 years and cannot be terminated by the relevant P.C.
         without cause, consisting primarily of bankruptcy or material default.

                  The company believes that there is no material value allocable
         to the employment and noncompete agreements entered into between the
         P.C. and the individual dentists, since the primary economic
         beneficiaries of these agreements is the P.C., which is an entity that
         the Company does not legally control. The Company believes that the
         dental group practices operated by the P.C.s with which it has
         Management Agreements are long-lived entities with an indeterminable
         life and that the dentists, customer demographics and various contracts
         will be continuously replaced. The amounts allocated to the Management
         Agreements, together with recorded goodwill amounts, are being
         amortized over a composite life of 25 years.

                  The Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting
         Standards Board is currently evaluating certain matters relating to the
         physician practice management industry, which the Company expects to
         include a review of the consolidation of professional corporation
         revenues and the accounting for business combinations. The Company is
         unable to predict the impact, if any, that this review may have on the
         Company's acquisition strategy, allocation of purchase price related to
         acquisitions and amortization life assigned to intangible assets.

                  Liabilities assumed - Given the short-term nature of the
         liabilities assumed, the historical carrying amount approximated their
         fair value.

         (b)  To record notes payable assumed in connection with the
              acquisition.

         (c)  To record the Common Stock issued, notes payable assumed and cash
              paid in exchange for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

         (d)  To adjust to fair market value the assets acquired and liabilities
              assumed and to eliminate assets not acquired and liabilities not
              assumed by the Company as defined in the purchase agreement.

         (e)  To eliminate the owner's equity in connection with the purchase
              accounting for the acquisition.
